Meanwhile, Xing Yiyue might have been spared by Song Huifen, saving her flourishing career from the brink of destruction, but she couldn't escape Wang Ruoxi's wrath. The old woman slapped her, yelled at her the moment the old woman was informed of what had happened at Prestige Plaza and how Xing Yiyue offended Song Huifen.

  "I still don't know what good my son sees in you! You bring nothing but humiliation to this family!" Wang Ruoxi yelled at Xing Yiyue's face as the latter cradled her slightly swollen cheek that was just hit by her mother-in-law.

  She could only lower her head and cry in silence as the older woman continued to chastise her to no end. How did Wang Ruoxi find out, Xing Yiyue had no idea. Even her husband only gave her a blank stare and shook his head during their dinner, when his mother raised the issue.

  "I'm sorry, Mother. It was an error of judgement on my part. I didn't know… I didn't know that boy is Feng Tianyi's son." She confessed to Wang Ruoxi, hoping the old woman would at least spare her a bit.

  Wang Ruoxi frowned and clenched her fists on her side. Like Xing Yiyue, she wasn't aware that the devil had spawned a child. Neither she nor Xing Yiyue had any clue as to who the boy's mother was.

  No wonder Song Huifen retaliated against Xing Yiyue like that. If the boy was her grandson, Song Huifen definitely wouldn't allow the Song family members to lose their face in public. But Wang Ruoxi knew better.

  Song Huifen humiliated Xing Yiyue because of her. By humiliating the Young Madam of the Feng family, it would also question Wang Ruoxi's ability to run her household.

  Being a commoner who had no idea how the upper circle worked, Wang Ruoxi herself had a hard time fitting in and had been constantly compared to her husband's first wife. After being Madam Feng for decades, Wang Ruoxi understood the underlying meanings of Song Huifen's actions and words.

  The two of them had never been in the same place, Wang Ruoxi made sure of that. She knew that Song Huifen would cast a blinding light on her person. She needed to lower the chances of her being compared to the empress dowager.

  Still, she could not stop the woman's indirect attack on her. The difference in their status was so obvious that it still left Wang Ruoxi seething in anger whenever someone compared her to the dashing and wealthy Song Huifen.

  She understood why her husband had never come to love this woman. Song Huifen's aura was so domineering and suffocating for some people. Standing next to her would only highlight their weaknesses and flaws. Song Huifen was the kind of woman who would never submit to any man, including her husband.

  Wang Ruoxi could only rub her temple before waving a hand, gesturing for her daughter-in-law to walk away from her. Xing Yiyue had successfully managed to avoid Tang Moyu, but it was her misfortune to encounter Song Huifen and her grandson.

  "Fine. In the future, avoid all of them altogether." She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her rage. Song Huifen wasn't an easy opponent for Xing Yiyue. Even she herself could not go head to head against that woman, let alone her good-for-nothing daughter-in-law.

  "Yes, Mother." Xing Yiyue easily agreed to her, not daring to question her mother-in-law. While she loved her husband very much, she had to admit that it was so hard to live a peaceful life with Wang Ruoxi constantly breathing down her neck, chastising her for every mistake she made.

  "Go now and talk to Tianhua. Explain to him that this was all but a misunderstanding between you and Song Huifen." Wang Ruoxi told her. If Song Huifen truly decided to blacklist Xing Yiyue, it would only cause her and Tianhua more problems in the future.

  Feng Tianhua might have ascended and secured his position in Feng Conglomerate, but he was still an outsider for the rest of the Feng family. In their eyes, only Feng Tianyi was the rightful heir for the wealth and properties of the family.

  Wasn't this why even after Feng Zuyi had died, she and Tianhua, along with Xing Yiyue were still living in the courtyard house behind the Feng family's ancestral mansion?

  "Thank you, Mother. Rest assured, I'll do my best not to meet them in the future." Xing Yiyue said before excusing herself to find her husband in his study.

  While his mother was giving his wife a long talk, Feng Tianhua opened the article on the internet about his older brother and Tang Moyu. At first, he thought that Feng Tianyi was just trying to annoy the hell out of him when he said he was going to pursue Tang Moyu, but he was gravely mistaken.

  Feng Tianhua's fists tightened as he stared at the pictures of his older brother beside the empress. The two were spotted on the launching of the newest book of the popular author named Qin Jiran.

  Feng Tianhua had never known that his ex-fiancée was also interested in reading those kinds of books. He had only seen her checking out the business and finance textbooks when they were younger. She wasn't like those other girls who read and binged chick lit books. He never took her as one who enjoyed reading fantasy novels.

  He heard a knock on the door and hurriedly closed the browser window displaying the news about Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu. However, he was seconds late as Xing Yiyue had already caught Tang Moyu's face on his monitor before it disappeared.

  'Tang Moyu again?' Xing Yiyue felt something inside of her snap. They'd been married for years, and yet her husband didn't seem to be over the empress yet.

  'You bitch! How dare you seduce my husband?!' She screamed inwardly, cursing Tang Moyu in her heart.

  How can Xing Yiyue ignore the fact that ever since Tang Moyu's return, her husband had started to act suspiciously?
